Have you ever thought to yourself ‘What is a Trixie bet?’ but not been certain how it works? Have a read of our explanation below.
A Trixie bet is one that consists of three selections, with four bets included for a Win bet or eight for an Each Way bet. The bet includes doubles and a trebles.
The bet is very similar to a Patent bet, but does not include Singles.
To guarantee any returns on a Win selection, at least two out of the three selections must win. Similarly, to guarantee any returns on an Each Way selection, at least two out of the three selections must place.
As there are a number of small bets involved in the Trixie, a £1 Win Trixie would cost you £4, where as a £1 Each Way Trixie would cost you £8.
